Neapolitan Overload

I love the color combination of chocolate, pink & cream together (though neapolitan ice cream isn't a favorite of mine!) A few years ago I fell in love with the Lotus ring sling from Sakura Bloom and while they are truly stunning slings, I'm afraid I just can't shell out $340.00 for one!! Well, lucky for me they stopped making their Lotus sling so I was forced to make my own. I love it! It's beautiful and feminine and so far, Miss Maddie loves to be snuggled up in it. I don't wear it as my everyday carrier but I love it for church! I was feeling extra ambitious when I made it, so I created a matching hooter hider. Actually, those are my new favorite thing to sew and I've made about 10 so far. Hopefully I'll get a picture of them soon and get it posted. In the meantime, here is my new sling....

Faux Sakura Bloom Ringsling

I *love* the look of Sakura Bloom Ringslings but I'm afraid Mike may have a small cow if I dropped $320.00 on a baby sling!! So I got together with another mama and we ordered some silk online and just made our own. I bought fabric to make the Green Tea and Whitewater RS (only the whitewater is still available on their site) So far, all I've finished in the Green Tea. I have plans to purchase silk to make Lotsus (which is also discontinued) But it's bubble gum pink, chocolate brown and ivory - beautiful for a little girl!
